SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:55 P.M. ET: 

AFTERMATH – The Democrats are acting no better after Justice Kavanaugh's swearing-in than they did earlier.  No graciousness.  No spirit of patriotism.  Just sheer hate and resentment.  Nancy Pelosi is already pledging to destroy Kavanaugh one way or the other.  She also asserts that this is a sad day for women and girls.  I wonder how many women and girls she actually knows.  Former Attorney-General Eric Holder displayed his obsessive poor taste by declaring that the legitimacy of the Supreme Court must be restored.  I guess he decides when the Court is legitimate.  The Democratic Party of Roosevelt, Truman, and Kennedy is truly gone, and largely forgotten.  Now we have the Democratic Party of race, gender, and ethnicity, and little else.

MORE CLASS – FROM MEDIAITE:  A pair of activist comedians followed around Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade, lobbing hostile questions at him on Friday. If you are a public figure, after all, you may get questions with or without a camera when you are walking down a public street (In fact, Mediaite has used a roving paparazzi in the past as well).  But they didn’t stop there.  Jason Selvig and Davram Stiefler, who are known as “The Good Liars,” then trailed Kilmeade into a NYC subway and encouraged fellow passengers to jeer at him in what increasingly felt like a potentially perilous situation for the Fox host.  It started with Selvig posing for a selfie with a smiling Kilmeade. But it was clearly a set-up, with Selvig then asking Kilmeade if he was “accused of sexually harassing Gretchen Carlson.” It turned ugly from there.  Selvig follows Kilmeade through Midtown, repeatedly calling after him, and noting that his “backpack is on crooked.”  He eventually follows Kilmeade onto the subway, when Stiefler makes an appearance, announcing the Fox News host to the crowded car.  “Hey everyone, this is Brian Kilmeade, he says lots of weird, kinda racisty stuff on the news a lot,” Stiefler says.  Activist comedians?  I can't wait to see them perform.  Lotsa laughs I'm sure.

I'M SHOCKED, SHOCKED – FROM FOX:  A lawyer who “was unable to substantiate” the domestic violence allegations against Rep. Keith Ellison is a partner of a law firm that donated more than half a million dollars to Democrats since 1998, with nearly $50,000 to the embattled Congressman running for the state’s Attorney General position.  Susan Ellingstad is a partner at Lockridge Grindal Nauen P.L.L.P law firm and was picked by Minnesota's Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party to investigate Karen Monahan’s allegations of domestic abuse after she came forward in August.  At the time, the party’s chairman Ken Martin said Ellingstad was hired to make sure the probe “wouldn’t be colored by people with associations with the party.”  Do you hear the silence of the "women's" groups?  Of the liberal press? Hypocrisy marches on.
